Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Will cure the worst forma of female complaints, all ovarian troubles, inflammation and ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb, and consequent spinal weakness, and is peculiarly adapted to the change of life. Every time it will cure Backache. It has cured more cases of leucorrhoea by removing the cause, than any remedy the world has ever known ; it is almost infallible in such cases. It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in an early stage of development,'and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Liver Pilis work in unison with the Compound, and are a sure cure for constipation and sick headache. Mrs. Pinkham's Sanative Wash is of great value for local application. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is every where esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are duo to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine art icle, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- I tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

® The Ins and Outs of It. I If you get best wear out of a coat, best work must have gone into it. You can't get good bread out of (gp xhx poor flour. Moral: You can’t get the best out of anything, unless the best is in it; and the best has to be put in before it Jfex \^z can be taken out. Now, we have a rule to test those sarsaparillas with a big “best” on the bottle. “Tell us what’s put in you and we’ll decide for ourselves about the best.” That’s fair. But these modest sarsaparillas (W) say: “Oh! we can’t tell. It’s a secret. Have faith in the label.” . . . Stop I There’s one exception; one sarzM\ sapariila that has no secret to hide. It’s Ayer’s. If you want to know what goes into Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, ask your doctor to write for the formula. Then you can satisfy yourself that you get the best of tire sarsaparilla 'O' argument when you get Ayer’s. Any doubt left ? Cettha “Curebook.” It kills doubts but cures doubters. Addfe&s I J. C.

FROG EIGHTEEN INCHES TALLi Weighed,Ten Pounds and the Finder Took It for an Alligator. Here Is the champion bullfrog of them all. Os course he hails from New Jersey. New Jersey, besides producing the biggest mosquitoes, is prolific in all manner of freaks. This frog if he stood up on his hind legs would be a foot and a half tall. Then he was twelve inches across the hips, the broadest part of a frog. “Was” is used advisedly because froggie is no more. He was killed, drawn and quartered and rendered Into fricassee. In life he weighed ten and threeF < OMPA KAT! VL SIZE UK THE GIANT IBOU AXD A si I VMR Di'I.LAK. quarters pounds. Ills legs were thir- : teen and one-half inches long ami the j two weighed live pounds. The mouth | was eight Inches across. A colored boy named Jackson dis- i covered the frog at Milton Lake, near I Rahv.ay, N. J. When the boy saw that • eight-inch mouth gaping at him, he j fled in terror. He thought it was an alligator. The alligator has a great liking for little colored boys, but the feeling is not reciprocated. When the boy told some workmen abou| the alligator tiny went to investigate ami turned up the giant frog. As the discoverer young Jackson was awarded the frog. He took it home. His father celebrated his silver wedding a day or two later, and frog legs just two of them, but enough for the whole company was the piece de resistance of the festive board. Current ConJc; sations. The population of the world averages । 109 women to every 100 men. There are in Paris B,OGO women who | are heads of mercantile houses. Brussels contains a clock which 1s wound up by the wind, and never by human hands. France has more money in circulation in proportion to its population than any other country. The royal arsenal nt Woolwich employs about 15,000 workmen, and has , forty miles of internal railways. i The expense of heating a London the- ! ater, lite Vaudeville, by elect ri by. using storage bntter’it s connected with ■ radiators, is said to Ir-ve been less than i 70 cents an Lour. Bicycles seem to have taken the place of brass candlesticks for wedding presents in England, rrineess Mau l of Wales is said to have received two 1 dozen of them. Several works of Margaret of Navarre, the author of the Heptameron, have just been discovered in the national library at Paris They comprise poems, two dramas, letters, dialogues and songs. If Dr. Backlund, who has made a new determination of the mass of the planet Mercury from the motions of Eneke’s comet, is right. Mercury Is only twothirds as'dense as the earth instead of being denser, as hitherto supposed. The Japanese are keeping up with the discoveries of science. A series of sixteen reproductions of photographs obtained by means of the Roentgen rays has been issued by Profs. Y. Yamaguchi and T.

CYCLONE HITS PARIS. Violent Wind Storm Descends Upon the Gay French Capital. A violent tornado swept over parts of Paris nt 2:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon. Paris is much stirred up and excited over the disaster. A large ward in the Hotel Dieu was fidl of the victims, two of whom died, and several there and in the other hospitals are in a precarious condition. Iho breaking of the storm was accompanied by many demonstrations of fright by individuals and by crowds, the panic of one spreading to others. The lowering sky, the'howling of the tempest and the flying debris frightened the crowds in the streets out of self-control. Everybody started to ruh, without much regard to obstacles, personal or otherwise, that might come in their way. And there was shouting and screaming to add to the confusion. The damage to property was widespread and serious. The first tempest of wind, which did most of the damage, was immediately succeeded by torrents of rain, and cellars all over Paris l were flooded. The tornado lasted about one minute, but In addition to the damage already mentioned considerable destruction was caused on and about the Pont Neuf, the Place du Chatelet, the Observatoire, the Tour St. Haeque and elsewhere in the neighborhood. The greatest damage was done at the Palais de Justice. All the windows on the Rue de Harley side wore smashed, part of the roof was blown away, and the corridors were filled with clouds of dust and branc hes of trees. The sittings of the'court had to be suspended. MRS. CLEVELAND'S FALL HAT. Symphony in Flowers and Colors Feminds One of Lute Leaves. An important order was to be executed the other day by a Washington milliner, for Mrs. Cleveland had written down for an autumn hat. “Your own selection,” she ordered the milliner. The hat when it reached Cray (’tables was of pale green I straw with brown dots scattered over iL These were small knots of grass. Ona ‘b b THE NEW HAT AND IT' WEAKER, side of the hat was trimmed with stifl I taffeta bows in brown ami green loops of each. The other side of the hat was i a mass of snowballs n stling in green i leaves. The back was a standing mas- of j lace, nnd the pointed top carried out the j brown and green i.. !if in an abundance of the-’e h'ave 1 ?. With Mrs. Cleveland's order was one L>r small russet 'hade hats for the little girls. Th< re are trimrm d with forgetme nots and green ribb a.

Robb, of Creston, fusion candidate for Congress, was made permanent chairman, and Ed Meredith, of Des Moines, secretary. Gen Weaver, as chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, introduced the report. Notes of Current Lvects. M. Alexander Felix Joseph Ribot, fol. mer premii rof r 'r.. - . for a nmnbo: of years has been one of the tmr t prom.--inent figures In French poiit.es; has arrived in New York from Paris. Joseph Bullard, ago d 54, and head sawyer at Moody Sons’ sawmill at Muncie I Ind., had his brains crushed out while at his post of duty. His head was caught be tween the carriage and a heavy timber. A disease closely resembling and sup posed to be Texas fever is rapidly’ killing the cattle at Wilton Junction, lowa. It is confined to a region near the stock yards. A rigid quarantine has been established. The Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and-Mayor Sutro, of San Francisco, have sent an official invitation to I.i Hung Cluing through the Chinese consul general there to a reception at the hall of the Chamber of Commerce should he pass through San Francisco. An Odessa dispatch to the London Daily News says that a Moscow electrician named Kildeschewsky is going to Lon don to test a new telephone discovery he has made with the Atlantic cable. Copt. A. I*.

The tva.-on was dis nwd when In a loop of the cable the carcass of a whale of more th :a sixty feet In length came Into view, it appears that the whale had become caught und- r the cable, and, not being able to lift It nor to go forward or back, it became sutTocated.

"Yes. sir,” he did," the woman reffjivmk'd. ”1 Just had to persuade him a little, and then he told the whole thing, voluntarily.” “How did you persuade him?” queried the fudge. "WeEr first 1 gave him a good ILkißg." said the tirm parent, “and then I put him right to bed without any supper, and I took all his clothes away, and told him he’d stay in bed till he told me what he'd done. If 'twas the rest of his days, and I should lick him again in the in ruing. And in less than half au hour, sir, he told me the whole story, voluntarily!" Bullets Wear Out Hides. There is one thing which users of the new high velocity of 30-eallber have to consider, and that is the effect of the copper or nickel jacket on the grooves of the^ifle. A bullet that leaves the. muzzlerof a ritie at a velocity of 2,000 feet a -second is so wearing on the rifling, especially near the muzzle, that the accuracy of even the hardest-bored rifles h seriously impaired inside of 12,000 pilots at the most.
